It's a clone of the repository on the Review Board server itself. Path points to that clone, and Mirror Path would be the remote origin that the other developers are using for the central repository. Think of Path as being what Review Board actually uses for fetching files, and Mirror Path as just being an alias that is matched against for the central server.
Using a local clone is not great, though, unless Review Board is running on the same server as the central Git repository (or has that server mounted). You really should use something like cgit/gitweb and then the raw file URL mask field. It's easier to maintain and more scalable.
